Unchained Labs Unveils LEA 9 Software Making Workflows Easy

Unchained Labs, the life sciences company that’s all about getting biologics researchers the right tool for the job, has now released its LEA 9 software, making Freeslate and Junior automation systems way more accessible.

LEA, short for Laboratory Execution and Analysis Software, controls Freeslate and Junior systems, executes biologics and chemistry workflow designs, integrates third-party tools, and keeps all the data in one place.

LEA 9 adds a step-by-step workflow tool called Design Creator into the mix. There’s no coding, scripting or messing around with protocols. Scientists just drag and drop their workflow steps into place and they’re good to go. Design Creator also double checks each step to make sure it’s doable, so newbie users don’t have to worry about screwing things up.

“Freeslate and Junior already help researchers wipe out major hassles from their toughest workflows,” said Taegen Clary, VP of Marketing at Unchained Labs. “Automation can be insanely complicated, and really nerve wracking for casual users. LEA 9 makes lab automation totally easy and approachable for anyone.”

A computer model developed by Museum researchers may provide new insight into the origins of phagocytosis, the process by which single-celled organisms “eat” other cells as a means of absorbing nutrients or eliminating pathogens.

In some ways, the Ebola virus operates like a vampire; only after it is politely invited in to a host cell does it take up the task of destroying everything in its path. In a new study researchers seek to elucidate quantitatively the biomechanical mechanism of Ebola-host cell interaction, providing potential new targets for antiviral drug development.
